Children's Reasoning About Their Environment |
| |
Abstract: | Abstract Research into children's thinking has shown age-linked differences in their abilities to structure the concrete and abstract features of their environment. This study attempted to investigate how these differences revealed themselves when children were asked to try to make sense of objects extracted from their environment by finding some meaningful relationship between them. The ways in which the children reasoned about everyday objects depicted on cards have implications for the design of curriculum materials used in geography. |
